This R&D provides resources on Sino-African relations.  China has nurtured hundreds of billions of dollars in trade with African nations in recent years, but some African leaders are worried that slowing growth in the Chinese economy could have negative affects on them.  This matters for Africa’s economies, which are driven by investment in its respective commodities industries.  International observers posit that China has increased its investments in Africa to thwart the economic efforts of stronger nations such as the United States and Japan, but there are tensions in the Sino-African relationship, namely that China has often preferred to import its own workers rather than rely on domestic African labor.
